no doubt ryan has had a fantastic season, one of the best seasons in nfl history. im not convinced that atlanta has more talent, or that total roster talent even matters the way both teams have been playing, but regardless it should be a great game either way

Not reall sure how it's more likely the Green Bay will win. Atlanta is far more talented on both sides of the ball, have home field advantage, and have been consistently better than Green Bay the entire year. This "godly" run Green Bay is on is still worse than Atlanta during the same time period when you look at the stats. It's just media narrative and appealing to casuals that makes them want to hype the Packers

I usually don't agree with you because you're an enormous homer, but everyone you've said is 100% spot on. Why do we not get praise? Is it because of what happened 5-6 years ago in the Mike Smith era? Completely different squad.

We ARE more talented and deeper on both sides. What we lack in experience on D we make up for in talent and tenacity.

In the last 5 games we've scored 38 PPG and are outscoring opponents by almost 19 PPG. And that includes 5 or 6 garbage touchdowns too.

Our defense has given up 0, 13, 3, 10, and 7 points in the first half of those games. I know it's a 60 minute game but defenses tend to relax when it's a blowout in the 3rd.

Our running backs have averaged 5.3 YPC.

And Matt Ryan?

115/157 (73%)
294 YPG
14 touchdowns
0 INTs
9.4 Y/A
131.7 QBR.

I get that Rodgers is great and Packers are a sexier story but if you can't see that Matt Ryan and the Falcons are just as hot then you're blind. Also playing at home...last game ever at the dome. That place is going to be LIT.

Though I suppose if we win this one and look good doing it people will just say we have no chance against NE because "matt Ryan...blah blah blah". Oh well.
